Canadian canola futures flat

09 Oct, 2020

WINNIPEG: ICE Canadian canola futures ended unchanged on Wednesday, underpinned by strength in soyabean and palm prices.

Funds are adding to their long canola positions, but canola's gains are limited by brisk farmer deliveries, a trader said. Crushers are seen buying futures in deferred months.

November canola settled unchanged at $525.40 per tonne. Deferred contracts edged higher.

In the Canadian province of Manitoba, the canola harvest is 94% complete, ahead of the three-year average of 81%.

US wheat and soyabean futures jumped to multi-year highs as unfavorable weather threatened production in exporting countries.
